Asset Management

At SCBT, we focus on you and your goals when creating an investment portfolio. We take the time to truly listen to and understand your needs in order to develop the best investment strategies and guidance. Your Portfolio Manager will work with you to develop a complete and personalized investment plan and to build a portfolio that reflects your financial needs, goals and risk tolerance.

Through SCBT's "open architecture system", SCBT offers access to, single and multi-investment managers as well as non-proprietary mutual funds. SCBT employs a "manager of managers" concept, providing its clients with "best of class" asset managers. SCBT advisors oversee the sub-managers who construct portfolios that are focused upon specific asset classes and investment styles.

Our personalized investment philosophy centers around six principals:

  • Asset Allocation
  • Portfolio Structure
  • Tax Management
  • Multiple Specialist Managers
  • Continuous Portfolio Management
  • First-hand Customer Knowledge

SCBT creates client goal-based portfolios with style diversifiers, asset allocation and risk and tax efficiencies.
